Question 1

Which motivational interviewing technique involves reflecting back a client's statement with an added emphasis to highlight ambivalence?

Accepted Answer

Amplified reflection

Amplified reflection exaggerates the client's statement slightly to evoke a counterargument, helping surface their intrinsic motivation.

Question 2

A wellness practitioner using cognitive-behavioral techniques helps a client identify automatic negative thoughts. What is the NEXT step in the CBT sequence?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive restructuring

Answer

After identifying automatic negative thoughts, cognitive restructuring is used to challenge and replace distorted thinking with more balanced perspectives.

Question 3

Which intervention is MOST appropriate for a client in the contemplation stage of the Transtheoretical Model?

Accepted Answer

Exploring pros and cons of behavior change

Answer

Clients in contemplation are weighing the benefits and costs of change, so exploring pros and cons helps tip the decisional balance toward action.

Question 4

A practitioner teaches a client progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). What physiological response is PMR primarily designed to counter?

Accepted Answer

Sympathetic nervous system arousal

Answer

PMR systematically releases muscle tension to counteract the fight-or-flight sympathetic nervous system arousal associated with stress.

Question 5

Which of the following best describes the 'third wave' of behavioral therapies relevant to wellness practice?

Accepted Answer

Acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches

Answer

Third-wave therapies such as ACT, DBT, and MBSR emphasize acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based living rather than symptom reduction alone.
